...and giggles from little girls playing in their room
Eggs with veggies & sprouted muffins sprinkled with cinnamon & sugar lovingly made just for mom
Snow drenched trees sparkling in the sun light, a gift of beauty
boys whispering and dashing through the house making secret birthday plans
bowl of fresh mango given to just me & sharing all but one piece
looking upon the faces of my sons as they one by one made my day special
giggling as 3 little ones eat all the zucchini, squash & sweet pepper I just sliced for dinner
listening to the girls talk of basagna & secret cake
hearing Vance say "oh yeah, I'd rather come help you cook than do anything else right now"
cuddling on the couch playing music with my little Ozzie
listening in awe as Grayson tells me about his brilliant ideas
laying on the floor playing memory with the girls
watching Vance delight in spend hours making me a card
smiling as Gavin tells me he'll do anything for me
children running to the door to see the giant pay-loader clearing the yard
watching the girls slow dance to dave matthews
listening to Ozzie telling the girls they are "beautiful just like mama"
playing airplane with all six kids
laughing until I my stomach hurt
trying to contain my laughter as the girls have a conversation
..."my name is eliza" "no, you're noli, I'm yiza" "I'm eliza & you're eliza, we can share"
smiling at a birthday message left on the fridge
smelling the aroma of fresh baked bread
feeling so loved & cherished by my amazing family
planning for a very special boys birthday tomorrow
watching my entire family listen & laugh at Bill Cosby
savoring the best homemade cake my loving husband has ever made
watching 2 little girls fall asleep in my lap
hugs that make my chest hurt & my heart sing
loving my life
...and thanking God for every day
Happy amazing day!! Sounds perfect....

ReplyDeleteBrittany,
ReplyDeleteQuick question...any advice on cooking Quinoa pasta? Every time I try and cook it, the water is pastey-looking and the noodles turn out stuck together and yucky. I add about 1 tsp. of olive or coconut oil along with a pinch of Sea salt in the water. Any ideas as to why it's not working? How do you cook yours? Just curious. I know you're busy, but thought it was worth asking. :)
